In a word, I cannot but look upon it as a discovery of your great weakness, That when you meet with such a difficulty as poses your Understanding, and you cannot possibly reconcile with your Notion; as that of Paul's circumcising Timothy, and you affirming that the very act of Circumcision did in its own nature oblige all on whom it passed, to the perfect observation of the Law for Righteousness. You will rather choose to leave the blessed Apostle in a contradiction to his own Doctrine, than to your vain Notion; For what do you say, p. 95. of your Reply? That however the case stood in that respect, this is certain, &c. It also argues weakness in you to insist upon, aggravate, jeer, and reproach at that rate you do, p. 83. of your Reply. For the mistake, and misplacing of one Figure, viz. Gen. 12. for Gen. 17. as if the merit of the whole Cause depended on it.
